Missoni Sport is launching a capsule in collaboration with Mike Maignan, goalkeeper of AC Milan and of the French national soccer team.

The brand’s concept of leisure and dynamism at the identical time is reflected by the gathering’s tracksuits, cardigans, hoodies and sweatshirts. The metallic palette mixes green, titanium and carbon with an iridescent effect that adds a novel chromatic evolution to every item. Missoni’s recognizable zigzag motif is shown either in a crescendo of visual intensity or with a shaded effect with a shiny texture.

“Mike has an attractive personality, and his determination instills confidence and positivity. His driving force is well-known on a competitive, human and now creative level,” said Missoni chief executive officer Livio Proli. “These are the elemental elements of the brand new Mike Maignan x Missoni capsule not only because they discover him as an individual and knowledgeable, but in addition because they correspond specifically to the message that the gathering wants to speak.”

The world of sports has all the time been intrinsically linked to the brand in its reference to the Olympic profession of cofounder Ottavio Missoni, often known as Tai.

He made the Italian national team when he was 16, and on the time of his death in 2013 at 92 still held the national 400-meter record for a 16-year-old. He competed within the London Olympics in 1948. Missoni sport was first launched in 1985 under the creative direction of Luca Missoni, son of Tai and his wife and cofounder Rosita.

“Commitment, overall view and enthusiasm for what I do are the qualities that best define my work and that I actually have decided to specific also through this special collection with Missoni,” Maignan said. ”The imprint I wanted to present to every garment reflects my person and my role. An example of that is the usage of the zigzag pattern: iconic and discreet at the identical time.”

The Mike Maignan x Missoni capsule is now available at Missoni’s online store and in chosen boutiques.
